That did it. I put the 64-bit libflashplayer.so in 
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and it worked. 

Thank you very much. 


Something that worries me is that I got the 64-bit libflashplayer.so from 
here 

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libfl
ashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

back when I installed F11. Now that link seems dead. I keep the tar.gz 
file around so I can reuse it but that's not the permanent solution. Is 
there a standard location for downloading the 64-bit libflashplayer.so ? 

After the few google hits on 64 bit flash I arrived at this link:

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

but that seems to point to a 32-bit flash version. Where can I find an up-
to-date download page for the 64-bit flash plugin? 

Thanks!
